Empress Dowager Yun Lian of the matriarchal kingdom, in order to save her country, binds herself to a salvation system and embarks on a journey through time and space for healing.
World 1: Th...
Yun Lian gently removed the gauze.
Huo Ye stared intently at her; she was always very serious about whatever she did.
Pruning flowers at a flower shop is one thing, changing his dressings is another.
When she is completely focused on doing that thing, the people around her feel honored to be treated with such seriousness by her.
When Yun Lian finally removed the gauze, she felt extremely guilty when she saw Huo Ye's already white wound.
The wound hasn't had its dressing changed in so long, it looks scary.
"It might hurt a little now, just bear with it."
Huo Ye saw her focused and careful movements through the mirror and wished he could get injured every day.
"I'm not afraid of pain."
Yun Lian would tense up every time he was disinfected, his fingers unconsciously gripping the bed sheet.
Yun Lian suddenly found his awkwardness somewhat adorable.
"Yes, you're not afraid of pain. Then Huo Ye, who isn't afraid of pain, be careful not to bite your tongue."
Huo Ye blushed when she noticed him.
Song Zhu finally put down the tray after Yun Lian finished bandaging and tying the bow.
He doesn't argue with patients.
"Okay, now take good care of it. I'll change it again tonight, and then you can change it again tomorrow. Once the wound has scabbed over, you can take it off. Just bear with it for the next few days and be careful not to touch the wound."
Huo Ye stared greedily at Yun Lian.
"good."
"Then I'll rest for a while, I'm exhausted."
Song Zhu's tall frame instantly hunched over as he tiptoed upstairs to follow Yun Lian.
But Yun Lian stopped her.
"Officer Song, go somewhere cool and stay there. I need to rest alone!"
Song Zhu glanced at Huo Ye shyly, worried that he might misunderstand, and quickly explained.
"I won't snore during the day, so I definitely won't disturb you."
When Yun Lian glared at him, Song Zhu quickly changed his mind.
"Okay, okay, you sleep, I'll wander around."
"That's more like it."
Yun Lian yawned and walked to the room in a few steps.
While she was eating, the nanny cleaned the room, and the messy bed was now comfortable and warm again.
Yun Lian fell asleep almost as soon as her head touched the pillow.
Huo Ye's room.
Song Zhu never left.
"Huo Ye, do you think you still have a chance?"
Huo Ye paused in his action of buttoning his shirt.
He knew who the opportunity he was talking about was about.
"After you came back, I knew that opportunity was no longer important. As long as I could be by her side and see her happy, I would be content."
Huo Ye lit a cigarette for him, his own expression obscured by the smoke.
Song Zhu exhaled a long puff of smoke, his expression solemn.
"My next mission is very dangerous, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back. If..."
I mean, if you can treat him kindly.
Huo Ye suddenly punched Song Zhu in the face.
"Song Zhu, what do you mean? What do you take her for? You come back to take her all over, and when she doesn't come back, you find someone to drag her away?"
Song Zhu did not fight back.
The pain in my back is still vivid in my mind.
When he was shot, his biggest regret was not being able to let Yun Lian achieve her wish.
In addition, the inability to find Yun Lian upon returning, and the scene that stimulated his brain when he finally found her, further exacerbated his mental state.
This led him to make many serious mistakes in his impulsiveness.
Fearing that Yun Lian would discover the wound, he would kiss her until she was completely lost in passion, even if his head was pinched so hard it hurt, he would make her lose consciousness before he dared to truly make love to her.
He was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back.
But he was even more afraid that they would be separated by death without a proper farewell.
Song Zhu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, revealing the wound on her shoulder.
“The new mission will only bring more dangers, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back. In this city, the only person I can think of who can truly help her wholeheartedly is you.”
Huo Ye, although you used to be a jerk, you've changed my opinion of you quite a bit now.
I know that Huo Ye was slashed with a long knife on his back while saving Yun Lian.
When he saw that wound, he truly admired Huo Ye.
If he is the one who ultimately helps and takes care of Yun Lian, then he doesn't need to worry about Yun Lian being wronged.
Song Zhu, who has always been unyielding and never shed a tear, even when criminals pointed knives at her or pierced her with guns.
Suddenly, she knelt on the ground, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"Huo Ye, please, take good care of her."
Huo Ye turned slightly to the side, avoiding his kneeling.
His tone was extremely impatient.
"Don't try to play the green tea trick on me. If she sees this, I won't be able to explain myself."
Huo Ye pulled him up with both hands.
“I’ve known her for much longer than you have. Even if you don’t say it, I will take good care of her. Yun Lian’s importance in my heart is no less than yours.”
Instead of worrying about her, worry about yourself.
After all, if he gets injured, Yun Lian might be very upset.
He had noticed that Yun Lian would often stare blankly at her phone.
His eyes would light up with every notification.
"I will do my best to protect us. After this matter is over, if there is another chance, I will take Yunlian to a place where no one knows us. You must come to our wedding then."
Huo Ye simply pushed him out.
"roll."
When you need him, ask him to take care of you; when you don't need him, ask him to come and watch their wedding.
Song Zhu wasn't annoyed at being pushed out; she just stood there happily, blocking the door so he couldn't close it.
"No, no, no, I have something important to say."
His serious expression inadvertently affected Huo Ye.
"Okay, then hurry up and leave. I can't take your care of me."
Song Zhu pointed to a photo of someone in prison.
"His name is Mu Xi. Not long after Yun Lian sent him in, he suddenly developed a mental illness and requested medical parole."
